Record Box - 21/05/08

Half Man Half Biscuit - Blue Badge Abuser (Probe Plus) Taken from the new album "CSI Ambleside". Buy HereBardot Pond - A Tune (Three Lobed Recordings) Taken from the new mini album thingy "Batholith" which is apparently just a small compilation of stuff they just had lying around. There are only six tracks on here but every one's a winner.The Wedding Present - Boo Boo (Pinnacle) Another track from the new album "El Ray". Out 26th April. Buy HereWe Smoke Fags - Eastenders (Sixsevenine) I think I'm correct in calling this their debut single. I'm sure if it's not someone will soon put me right. Out 16th June.Superchunk - The Question Is How Fast (Merge) This is a 7" single from millions of years ago. No real reason for playing this other than it found it's way onto my turntable the other day after the cat had decided to use the record shelves in the back room for a spot of extream climbing and managed to pull a whole load of seven inches down and this was amongst them.Crystal Castles - Vanished (Epic Win Remix)No Age - Here Should Be My Home (Sub Pop) Taken from the brillo new album "Nouns". Buy Here.Dead Leaf Echo - Pale Fire (Self-Released)The Lodger - The Conversation (Birdman) Taken from the album "Life Is Sweet". Buy HereDeath To Anders - Swig Shift (Self-Released) Taken from the new album "Fictitious Business".Jakobinarina - Television (Regal) Taken from last years brilliant debut "The First Crusade". Buy HereTroubadours - I'm Not Superstitious (Loog) Taken from the excellent new single. Out next week.The Wave Pictures - Friday Night In Loughborough (Moshi Moshi) Strange thing this because the first time I heard this album I really didn't like it much and pretty much dismissed it as never to be played again. That was a couple of weeks ago and since then everywhere I turn there is someone banging on about The Wave Pictures, so I decided to give them a second chance. Maybe I was just in a bad mood the first time round because "Instant Coffee Baby" is actually a work of art and I feel rather stupid for ignoring it the first tome round.Dulce Sky - Unfamiliar (Nueve) This is the title track from an the "Unfamiliar EP". And yes it is a cover of the Ride song.GHQ - Remembrance (Three Lobed) Taken from a four track EP entitled "Everywhere At Once".Pia Fraus - Springsister (Claire) Taken from the album "After Summer".Hot Club De Paris - Let Go Of Everything (Moshi Moshi) Taken from the Liverpool bands second album "Live At Dead Lake".Elika - Let Down (Fiercely Independent) This is a track from what I think is the bands second EP. It's a seven track jobbie called "Trying Got Us Nowhere" and was produced by Starflyer 59's Jason Martin.Midsummer - The Veil (Self Released) Taken from the album "Inside The Trees".Nozzle - Complicated (Flowermountain) Taken from the album "Empires".
